NRCC NEW STUDENTS

Thank you for choosing New River Community College. This website is designed to guide you through everything you need to do before your first day of classes.

Follow the steps below and contact us at (540) 674-3677 or smoore@nr.edu if you need assistance.

Getting started:

If you are new to college, you are required to attend an in-person New Student Orientation session.

Step One: Register for an in-person session.

This session offers personalized advising and an opportunity to get acquainted with all things NRCC, including classmates and connection specialists. You may also use this step later to change your session.

Step Two: Confirm you are ready for your first day of classes.

Complete this checklist to tie up any remaining loose ends before classes start, like paying tuition, completing financial aid or finding your textbooks.

If you are new to NRCC, but have attended college elsewhere...

...you can provide information that MAY exempt you from new student orientation.
